Priority fixes

  1. [contrast_color] Introduce a high-contrast rim light or environmental light source such as a harsh blue or amber beam that separates the protagonist silhouette cleanly from the background, improving readability at tiny size.
  2. [uniqueness_polish] Replace the generic zombie encounter framing with a more distinctive visual hook tied to the bunker isolation concept, such as a lone figure at a hatch with light flooding in, to differentiate from the saturated zombie genre.
  3. [title_readability] Add a subtle dark vignette or shadow fill behind the DEFIANT ASCENT text to reinforce contrast at small and tiny sizes where the distressed texture degrades legibility.
  4. [genre_clarity] Consider a background element such as a bunker staircase or surface light at the top of the frame to reinforce the ascent narrative and clarify the game's unique premise.
